Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective transition metal-catalyzed reactions. It plays a key role in promoting high enantioselectivity in transformations such as asymmetric C–H activation, cross-coupling, and cyclization reactions. Its rigid oxazoline-bipyridine framework enhances metal coordination and stereocontrol, making it valuable in the synthesis of optically active pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly employed with palladium, nickel, or copper complexes to achieve efficient asymmetric induction under mild reaction conditions.
